I'm trying to figure out how to get the x/y coordinates of
objects in side a canvas container.
The canvas can be moved around via drag/drop. Once in it's
new place I need
to get the coordinates of all the contained objects (in this
case some images).

If I click directly on the images I can use the event.localX
and localY and the localToGlobal
methods, globalToContent.

However I'm currently stumped when the new coordinates of the
image is the result of
moving their container.

I may have answered my own question. I used the following
(where this is my contained object and container.parent is
the
drawing canvas).
var r:Rectangle = this.getBounds(_container.parent);
I then offset the rect based on the width and height to get
to the
center of my object.
